Ariana has some serious power behind her swing! She made it look effortless during warm-up drills, consistently getting on top of the ball and launching it near the ten-foot line. Her powerful attacking ability translated seamlessly once the blockers were introduced. She has an excellent approach, and her lightning-fast arm swing repeatedly beat blockers and defenders during the team competitions. Ariana was without a doubt one of the best middles in her class, and with her skill set, she’s bound to have an outstanding season with Dartfrog. Her future is looking bright, and she’s definitely a player to watch! –Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv
